      Which of these do you want to learn more about: - What e^A means when A is a matrix - How to think about solutions to linear systems of ordinary differential equations.

      I'm sure you've seen this (and maybe we've talked about it?), but just in case not, it's a very good paper with one of the best titles ever: "19 dubious ways to exponentiate a matrix" http://www.cs.cornell.edu/cv/researchpdf/19ways+.pdf …

      It's a really fun exercise in realizing how many ways there are to think about a mathematical object!

          Agreed. I feel like in the same spirit of the question 'how many uses can you think of for a paperclip' to measure creativity, you should always ask yourself how many ways there are to think of core ideas in a field to measure the depth of understanding.

          I feel like "linear operator" is a good one for this. I bet you could sit down and write down at least 20 different ways of thinking about, each of which adds something.

          A beautiful little result about exponentiation that should be much better known is this result of Thompson's; it says exponentiation of Hermitian matrices almost commutes.pic.twitter.com/LotR9av0cf

          Rather than framing this as something which should be better known, might it be better to say the spectral theorem and its implications should be deeper in peoples bones?
